Addiction medicine at Stone Creek Psychiatry provides structured, dignity-centered psychiatric care for substance use disorders.
We provide outpatient psychiatric support for substance use disorders within a broader mental health framework.
We are not a treatment center and do not provide detoxification or residential rehabilitation. Instead, we offer medical oversight, psychiatric integration, and coordination with other levels of care when needed.
It is appropriate for individuals seeking outpatient, medically supervised support as part of recovery.
Higher levels of care may be recommended when:
Diagnostic assessment
Medication-assisted treatment when appropriate
Monitoring of psychiatric symptoms and recovery progress
Coordination with external treatment or support programs
Visit frequency depends on clinical need and stability.
Substance use recovery is rarely linear, and treatment must account for changing circumstances over time.
Clinical considerations may include:
Risk of relapse during the recovery process
The need for structured support and monitoring
Variable response to medication-assisted treatment
Setbacks are approached with clinical clarity rather than judgment. The focus remains on long-term stability, improved mental health, and sustained recovery.
Telehealth may support continuity of care when clinically appropriate and safe.
Decisions about treatment format prioritize safety, effectiveness, and regulatory requirements.
As stability improves:
Psychiatric clarity often increases
Medication plans may evolve
Independence and self-management strengthen
The goal is durable recovery supported by insight, structure, and ongoing support when needed.
Addiction medicine in psychiatry focuses on the medical and mental health aspects of substance use disorders. Care may include evaluation of substance use patterns, treatment of co-occurring psychiatric conditions, medication-assisted treatment when appropriate, and coordination with therapy or community recovery supports.
When appropriate, evidence-based medications may be used to support recovery from certain substance use disorders, such as alcohol or opioid use disorder. Medication decisions are made after careful evaluation and are typically combined with therapy and other recovery supports.
Some individuals benefit from inpatient or residential treatment, particularly when medical detoxification or intensive monitoring is required. When a higher level of care is necessary, we help coordinate referrals and ongoing psychiatric support as part of a broader treatment plan.
Some aspects of addiction treatment can be provided through telehealth, particularly follow-up care and psychiatric monitoring. However, certain treatments or evaluations may require in-person visits depending on safety considerations, medication regulations, and clinical needs.

If substance use is complicating your mental health or recovery, we can begin with a structured evaluation.
